MIR. WALKER.
Mr.. Walker, Attorney for the Com

He said the duty OF counsel was now at
an end, the duty Of the jury was to
commence. lie now placed the life and
liberty OF Charles ID. Ward In the hands
Of the jury, reminding them OF the fact
that the Gospel dispensation had not
abrogatcd the death penalty-referring
to the Acts where st. Paul said,
THAT IL he be an offender he was will
ing to die" he also read from Romans,
in order to substantiate the theory. He
hoped that all was well with Jewell. but
referred to the fact that his life had been
taken in all OF his sinfulncss-he did not
have an opportunity to utter even as
many words As the thief upon the cross,
when he said Lord remember Thou me
when Thou contest into Thy kingdom"
He then told the jury that IL they be-
lieved from the evidence that the prison.
er was guilty it was their sworn duty to
say so. It would not be them that would
place the rope around the neck OF Chas.
ID. Ward. it would not be the Common
wealth's Attorney, or Sheriff, but II
would be the lawO the Commonwealth
OF Virginia. And, now gentlemen OF
the jury, have done. You are now to
retire to your room to consider the evil
dence. II YOU believe, from the same,
that he Is not guilty, say so, and III be
the first one to take Ward by the hand,
congratulate him, and tell him to 90
thou and sin no more. But, IL, on the
other hand, you believe from the evidence
that he be guilty then the Common
wealth insists upon verdict OF murder
in the first degree, the punishment OF
which will be that she be hanged by the
neck until he be dead, and may the Lord
have mercy upon his soul"

Obituary.

Mrs. Lavina H. Robbins, wife of 4. ID.
Jepsop, Esq died at her home in China,
July II. 1887, aged 55 years, 6 months.
Something more than passing notice is due
Mrs. Jepson, for her life and the example
she has left. To say that she was good
wife, faithful mother, kind friend, and
devoted Christian are but simple truths con-
corning her, yet they express the sentiments
of her numerous friends in as few words as
possible. Her life work has been well
DONE and she rests from her labors. Blessed
with kind husband and atfectionate chii-
dren, yet she drank deep of the cup of scr
row in the loss of a portion of her family. but
she trusted in one who doeth all things well
At the close of her earthly career, like David,
she was ready TO pass through the valley and
the shadow OF death, fearing no evil. May
the memory of her goodness float about US
like an incense and pervade our souls, TO the
end that our Thoughts may, like hers, lead ps
to God
